Blog meet

How exciting. We are meeting not one blog mate for brunch on Sunday, but four of them. It will a brunch coat party. I expect three of them will be hungover, as we probably will be after spending Saturday helping Mother with another, surely the last, garage sale. Apparently it is going to pour rain on Mother's garage sale. Good, we can pack up early.

Mother was moaning on the phone about having to get up early, get her jobs done, shower, feed the feral cats, all before the garage sale. I felt like adding, and we will do most of the above plus drive for nearly an hour to get to your place. Tradie Brother is in charge of organisation and Dreaded Nephew will assist.

Back to Sunday. In about 2006 or perhaps 05 I wrote a post bemoaning the lack of older bloggers, well ones my age. Tezza was kind enough to steer me to a red headed one, and his own of course by default, and it rather snowballed from there. So that is about five years I have known these people via the net, or latterly actually meeting them.

And while I might not be the most attractive person at brunch, I will be the youngest, the toy boy, so to speak.

Enjoy your blog meet Andrew and since you are having brunch I think you should all wear brunch coats. Something pink with frills and lace maybe. Or a floral fabric perhaps. But not the fluffy slippers, that's just tacky.

oh BRUNCHCOATS! they were mostly quilted and patterned fabric, but glamorous slackers managed quilted velvet.and dear hawt ToyBoy, thanks for tipping the possibility that the term 'brunch' originated with the clothing, ie slackers who failed to dress between breakfast and lunch, and not with the mealtime, ie, breakfast so late that it is almost a lunch.

My public diary, not my private one. I live in a highrise apartment building in inner Melbourne. My interests are varied but top of the list are old buildings, history and public transport. You will find plenty of personal experiences to read in my blog too. Just be aware I am not an historian, amateur or otherwise. While I make some effort to be accurate, I don't do proper methodical research so I advise you check all details on your own behalf should you wish to quote me. Your comments are very welcome, but try to be nice to my fragile yet overblown ego. I enjoy receiving email. You can find my eddress in my complete profile.
